Chu Lingyu held Xu Chencan's hand and kissed it.

”Let go.” Xu Chencan glanced over at Xue Tianning. Seeing him looking at her with an ugly expression, she subconsciously wanted him to let go of her.

Naturally, Chu Lingyu had seen her little trick. A trace of coldness flashed through his eyes, but he still wore the same smile on his face.

He pulled Xu Chencan into his embrace, embracing her waist in a possessive manner. He glanced at Xue Tianning and said, ”We're husband and wife. What's wrong with us doing this?”

When Xue Tianning heard this, his expression turned even uglier.

Xu Chencan rolled his eyes at him speechlessly, then shook his hand off with all his might.

”It's getting late. Let's go back first.” Chu Lingyu suppressed her anger and told Xu Chencan with a stiff smile.

Fortunately, Xu Chencan knew that he was angry, so he nodded and turned to say goodbye to Xue Tianning.

”Mr. Chu, you also know that you have many enemies. I hope that those injuries don't happen to innocent people.” Xue Tianning coldly said to Chu Lingyu.

That innocent person was naturally referring to Xu Chencan.

The corners of Chu Lingyu's lips curled up in disdain. He snorted coldly and confidently wrapped his arm around Xu Chencan's shoulder, slightly raising his head.

”Can Can Can is one of my men, I'll definitely protect her.”

”Hopefully.” Xue Tianning left without a word after that.

Staring at his back, Xu Chencan was in a bit of a daze.

Chu Lingyu unhappily covered her eyes and breathed hot air into her ear, saying, ”I don't like it when you go see other men.”

”…” This man is sick.

Only when they returned to the Chu Clan did Chu Lingyu return to the study room with a serious face, hoping that Mo Lan could investigate what happened today.

Coincidentally, Xu Yaoxi was right next to Mo Lan. When she heard this, her expression turned ugly.

Over the weekend, after her mother asked Xu Chencan if she was going to work today, she asked Chu Lingyu to take her to the old house.

Having interacted with his mother previously, Xu Chencan was no longer nervous. He allowed his mother to pull him to the back of the parlour.

”Auntie, did you grow these flowers yourself?” Looking at the colorful flowers in front of him, Xu Chencan felt dizzy.

Chu Mu's mother nodded and gave her the best lily.

”Ling Yu is usually very busy, and I don't have much work to do as an old woman. It's also not bad to just fiddle around with these little tricks every day.”

This was indeed a good hobby. Xu Chencan was rather envious of her, wondering if she could become like this when she was old.

They hadn't known each other for long when a servant came to tell her that Xu Yaoxi had also come.

Chu Mu's mother answered with an unwavering expression. She then went back to her own bed, with no intention of leaving.

Looking at her expressionless face, Xu ChenCan could guess that she didn't like Xu Yaoxi, and thus felt slightly proud of herself.

That person had been liked since she was young, so what? And now, the person she could please was herself.

”Can Can Can Can, that's just a clown. You don't need to worry about him. Our Chu Clan has always cared about our reputation, and we're not qualified to deal with people like him.” Mother Chu raised her head, looking at Xu Chencan solemnly as she spoke.

”Auntie, Yao Xing is my sister, how about I go?” Xu Chencan nodded in understanding before speaking again cautiously.

After all, this was the old dwelling. If no one went to receive her, who knew what Xu Yaoxi's mouth would say.
